WOYWW 125


HI  wednesday peepers
I'm mixing my blog posts together this week as I dont seem to be getting anything done except blogging, how do you all find the time to craft and blog?,
On the left is the new book I had for my birthday, great for when I get time to experiment with 'stuff'.
At the back on the right is a lovely cupcake pin cushion Anne at work made me, again for my birthday.
Also on my desk this week is the remains of my grungy monday  piece.
 Linda ledbetter  from studiol3. sets a challenge using the techniques of the fab  Tim Holtz .


This week it is  PERFECT DISTRESS. The first piece I made along with Tims video,(but had to keep pausing to 'find' stuff LOL), the colours were too similar so I made another one. I'm just getting into Christmas card making, so I thought why not?


The reindeer is from the Octopode Factory, I love their designs.
 I was actually really please with the finished piece. The reindeer is really shiney, it looks almost like gunmetal. His nose is finished off with red stickles, just for the true rudolf look!!! Thanks to Vicky for the snow flake die cut, it is perfect to add a delicate contrast to the tag.


If you want to see lots of inspirational workdesks pop over to Julia Dunnit at    stamping-ground     where she acts as headmaster of all things desky. I hope to comment  this week as I had probs with blogger last week.
here's looking at you!

    Interesting technique! The reindeer is fun if slightly bonkers-looking!! I will have to get a move on and get down sooner rather than later. See how much sells in the next two fairs...

    Blimey - 'Surface Treatment'...sounds a very scarey and professional way to talk about what we do to card and paper!! Have fun with that. I agree about the snowflake die on your lovely tag - really adds a lovely delicate touch.

    Well I had a good rummage round your desk and was delighted by all that I found ;) My mum has been sent on a mission to find me a good pin cushion for a Christmas present!

    Loving your tags, and I know exactly what you mean about blogging/crafting. I can never get both done at the same time. I either blog hop, and don't have time to craft, or vice versa.Sorry I am late visiting, Blogger has been a real pain this week.

    i do like octopode stamps - mostly because I don;t really like cute, I just wish we could find elegant and grown up stsmps too so I didn't have to draw every design I want to do for Christmas myself....that said hero arts often do nice stuff..

    Love, love, LOVE your little Christmas tag! You created the perfect icy look with the GM24 technique, and that Octopede reindeer is the cutest thing I've seen this week. This is beautiful and whimsical and completely delightful.
